HungryDeveloping a hunger for God

Blessed are those who HUNGER and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filed. – Jesus (Matt 5:6). Jesus gives us a recipe for filling yet many go about their lives not realizing that they are not being filled with the food God intended. Jesus also told His disciples that He had food they did not know about. They thought that He was talking about a stash of cookies or beef jerky but Jesus was talking about righteousness. Jesus seemed to be able to be sustained by righteousness alone. So, what is righteousness and how come we aren’t sustained by it in the same way? Great question! Let’s explore the answer.
